As soon as I saw the image of the old Irish Lady sitting on her Spinning Wheel, I was fascinated by it. It radiates such a serenity, it looks so peaceful in the natural surroundings. When creating this little ornament, I tried to use mainly 'natural' elements: handmade paper pleated as backing, angora wool for the crocheted frame, a little wooden button, a wooden cotton reel, the paper around the reel is also handmade. The only not so natural item was the glue (lol) and the teeny tiny stamp from Little-Z I used for the sentiment ... ah,yes, and the glitter. Enjoy, Petra.
Image: Just a little note, it came from Night Owl Vintage. Unfortunately this blog doesn't seem to exist anymore. What a shame!
